School District to Shut Down For Remainder of 2019-2020 School Year Due to COVID-19

Floyd County Board of Education came to the agreement not too long after shutting down schools for the remainder of the week to shut down all Floyd County schools for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year due to the Coronavirus and other common illnesses. Danny Adkins stated “We feel as if it’s best for our kids and for people around Floyd County to close down schools and sanitize them and prepare for the 2020-2021 school year.” Adkins also stated that this will count as an entire school year therefore each student will move up a grade come the start of the next school year.
